THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE.

A self.cOnstituted committee
has been organized, known as the
citizens committee. This commit,
tee has arogate to itself the au
thority of appointing two or three
colored men on it who have as
sumed TO represent $4,000 colored
people in the District Of Colum-
bia. With all due respect TO the
gentlemen. who have been ap-
pointed on said committee, we
want it underst, od that, we make
no objections to them, but we do
object to so small a representation.
The colored re, Tesentation On
that committee should, at least
be one third instead of two or
three. We believe, and in fact
insist, that the cnlored people
should call a meeting and orga-
nike a committee of 100 to repre>
sent their interest. We don't
propose TO allow a few sell con
stituted white men to be the
guar dians IF our property or other
interest without authority.
When these meetings were call
ed, how many colored people
were invited to attend? Mr..
White Man met and Mr.. White
Man oIganized and elected their
own officers and placed three Ne
groes IN the committee as a
sham. If this self.constituted
committee claims to represent
the people zee demand a larger
representation. We know we
voice the sentiment of the masses,
and if there is any doubt, wait
until some measure ls presented
to congress affecting the interest
OF the colored people. The color
ed people are tired of this kind of
business, and don't propose to
stand it.

PLEASE EXPLAIN.

The decision of the judges
awarding the first prize for pro-
ticiency in Infantry drill to the
Lomax Rifles of Mobile, Ala,
was a surprise to the company as
we'll as to those who had wit
messed the drill of the several
companies competing. There were
80 movements 70 be executed by
each company. The judges mark
ed on a scale of ten credits to each
numter, so that the highest per-
cent that could be attained was
$50. The Captain of the Lomax
Rifles admits that be omitted an
entire page of the programme
containing 10 numbers.) For this
omission there should have been
deducted from the grand total 100
points, leaving possible 720
which is the highest per cent the
Lomax r fies could have reached
if they had been perfect in all
other movements they did exc
cute But, the Rifles made several
elaring errors, the most noticeable
of which was, the position of the
captain in front of his men during
the firing. This objectionable
error. in the opinion of military
men, should have ruled the COM
pany out entirely, We ask them
upon that scale of marking did the
judges find 756 credits out of a
possible 720, in favor of the Lo.
max Rifles? Gentlemen please
explain.
The same dissatisfaction exists
relative to the rating of several
companies. Take for example
the Washington Cadet company.
In the opinion of those who wit
messed the drilling of the Wash.
ington Light Infantry and the
Washington Cadets, the drilling
of the latter was but very little
below that of tue former in the
general average. How then does
1t happen that the Light Infantry
company has been rated No. s,
while the colored company Is
placed seventeen numbers below

The peculiar clerical force in
the sixth Auditors Office, makes
it somewhat of a task, to regulate
matters agreeabIy to the princi-
pies of full and exact justice; but
the chief of that office, Hon. d.
NJ. Conville, seems to possess the
happy faculty of seeing through
things, aud "a sense of justice and
determination has made him
many friends among the colored
people in aud out of mis- Office.
Many cases have come before him,
from time to time, in which it
was possible for him to manifest
a spitetul prejudice; but his de-
cisions, in such cases have always
been just and tempered by mag
nanimity highly eommendable
and Indicative of the fact that,
his sympathies are with the "un.

well for an administration that

1t is remarkable when we look
back two hundred years ago when
the colored people were but slaves
or serfs and to see them to day,
in control of the greatest govern
ment on the globe. The officials
are more lenient with the white
people than they were with our
ancestors. Certain authority that
was vested in the Supreme Court
in the 10th centuary has been
abolished by Congress. The
18th AMENDMENT
to the constitution has been ratif-
ed by 3S states. The white peo-
pie are allowed by this constitu.
tional amendment to 60 where
they please. If any of the railroads
controlled by colored men
will not allow white people to
ride in first class coaches they
will, upon conviction, be compell-
ed to pay a fine of $4,000.
No keeper of a public inn, place
of amusement, &C., will be allow
ed to discriminate against a poo-
white man on account of his color,
previous condition of servitude.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
will be requested to resign; his
views on the Sandamingo question
is in conflict with the president.
If the secretary of State is let
alone he will have the great negro
gov ernment thrown into a revOlu-
ton.
IRELAND,
has at last been granted Home
Rule. Parnell, Gladstone and
others who fought for human
liberty, should be living in this
age. The Irish can thank no one
but America which was always
known to grant freedom of speech
to the white man in the 10th Cen
tuary, but since it is in the hands
of colored citizens there is no
discrimination made against any
nationality. Ireland is free and
Great Britain which was once
monarchy is now a republic. The
great fight between
AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
was the only thing that granted
Home Rnle to Ireland. We have
the greatest ships on the globe. Our
Navy is the strongest in the world
which is able to destroy any gov
ernment with which it comes in

Her fingers festered and several nails dropped off

Her weight was reduced from 125tO 60 los. Some
faint idea Of her condition can De CLEANED from
the fact that three pounds OF CosmOliuc or ONT

Finally the physicians acknowledged tAer defeat

by which we can nave that is to
hold as much of the rain
fall as possible, and all can
assist in this. A few tanks scattered
miles apart will do but little good, except
TO their owners for stock purposes; but
let US have them distributed generally
over the state, one at least on each sec
tion of land, and we would soon see the
effects of it, and there is not man, WOm-
an or child in the state but what would
be benefited, either directly or indirectly
by such system. The late dry spell we
have had is nothing more than they have
experienced in Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri. The people and press of those
states kept their troubles and drawbacks
to themselves, while we advertised ours
stronger and with more energy than we
ever have our advantages and nat
uraI resources. Let US try to
benefit by past experience. We will
all admit that "littIe prevention is
worth great deal of cure" and as most
of the land in the county holds water like

ton of the amendment in its present
form would not prohibit the use OF In

the mode of procuring them; will WORK
8 great loss to the revenues Of the state,
thereby making 1t necessary to increase

The manufacture, sale and use OF ardent
spirits should be treated as luxury, and

hibit the sale to minors and others when

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator and
General ShermSn's brother-in-law, Col
onel q. W. MoultoD, once of Cincinnati,
but now Of New York, threatens to urge
suit aginst the government that will
again drag up into light IN old wsr
scandal. He was captain and quar-
termsster, with headquarters at Parkers-
burg, w. Va, when Stanton was Sea-
retery of War. The Colonel had the s.
bursement of about 81, 0OC, 800 a mon h,
anG he says that g combination formed TO
profit by the purchases out of this er or
nous outlay approached him with an
ofer of division. The combination lad
such powerful packers in merchants and
bankers of Cincinnati aRd Washin ston
with the secret supporters in officia cir
3ies thethe had to resign when he aade
MS determined refusal kaown.
, a. successor was appointed, and scan
DIAL resulted so far-reachipg and eIaorac-
ing SC many people that the investigation
which had been ordered had to bs sup
pressed to save the good name Of the
government, and it is , curious feet that;
the officer who gathered most Of tie dam
aging testimony was sent to remote and
inaccessible posi-. Immediately on sup
preston of the investigation, MCulton
was- asked to resume his old position.
He declined fatty, and Secretac5 Stanton
then revoked the former acceptance of
his resignation aad ordered him back TO
duty. Because OF this he aow claims
Sl200 I'D interim salary. He takes the
ground that if his resignation and acGep-
lance were null and void, then his salary
should have been paid light straight
along. If Colonel Moultc1 persists in
his resolve many prominens men who are
now living, and WAC had p corner on the
needed supplies at that time, will quake
IN their shoes, Their correspondence has
been preserved in the archives at the
national capital, and it will necessarily
have to he aired
